It's cool! - Hi-Lux Optics Wm. Malcolm 6x17mm Rifle Scopes, 3/4in Tube

I bought this scope in lieu of putting a tang sight on a replica Winchester HiWall. It's an eye catcher. Everyone who sees it thinks it's great and wants one. It's moved this rifle back to the top of the heap as far as a fun gun to carry and shoot. It takes a little longer to sight it in than a modern scope but it is a marvel to play with. I'm planning a bison hunt for this winter and this rascal is going to be blooded then. I can now enjoy this rifle because I can actually see with this scope to shoot accurately where my aging eyes could no longer find a front sight. I had tentatively planned to install a tang sight but with a bit of research found that I could install this scope for the same money as a moderately priced tang sight. You'll have to have the barrel on a high wall drilled and tapped by a gunsmith to use the high recoil rear mount but it is so worth it.
It's way COOL! Do yourself a favor and get one if you like black powder cartridge rifles.
